From top: GPO, O’Connell Street, Dublin; Exo building, Point Square, Dublin

This morning.

An Post is ‘closing in on a deal to relocate’ its headquarters from the GPO to the Exo Building at Point Square in the Dublin docklands.

Via Irish Times:

The company is understood to have entered into exclusive negotiations to rent at least 120,000sq ft at the property from its owners, a European fund advised by Tristan Capital Partners and local partners SW3 Capital. The Exo, which is under construction, will comprise 169,150sq ft of Grade A office space upon completion later this year.

….While An Post’s GPO headquarter operations now look set to be relocated to the Exo Building, its public post office and the GPO Witness History Museum will continue in their current location…

Harrumph/Fight!

An Post looks to relocate from GPO to Dublin’s tallest office (Irish Times)

1234

‘The Exo’ will be a 17 storey building with about 224,000 sq ft of office space

Seventeen.

The €80 million Nama-funded Exo building [by Shay Cleary Architects,] will be significantly taller than any of the existing docklands offices built in recent years, including the 67m Montevetro building owned by Google on Barrow Street. It will also be almost a third taller than the 1960s Liberty Hall.

The site is one of the few in Dublin where high-rise buildings are permitted, but the Exo is not the tallest building planned for the dockhands.

Directly across the river Kennedy Wilson was last October granted permission for Capital Dock, a combined residential and office development at the corner of Sir John Rogerson’s Quay and Britain Quay, which will have a 79m-tall apartment block.
